[Ws2-jurisdiction] OFAC: Background Reading -- a few FAQs and Overviews

[Greg Shatan]

All,

I thought it might be helpful to provide some background information on
OFAC  in advance of Tuesday's meeting.  These are intended to provide
overall information on OFAC, not analysis of the relationship between OFAC
compliance and ICANN.  If there are other helpful general resources, please
reply to this email.

A basic overview of OFAC compliance for US-based businesses (a little old
(2011), but still helpful):
https://www.law360.com/articles/262952/4-steps-toward-ofac-sanctions-compliance
(Also attached as PDF in case the link can't be accessed)

Good overview, though oriented toward banks and financial institutions,
from FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, a US
inter-agency body empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and
report forms for the federal examination of financial institutions):
